A section of BCS cadres plans noncooperation

By Staff Correspondent
There Is a move by a politically motivated section of the ctvll servants to destabilise the administration. Some BCS cadres of the adrlilnistration are learnt to have already started noncooperation with the Government in different cyclone affected areas.
The government has recently transferred 21 Upazila Nirbahi Officers (UNOs) to other upazilas. According to sources, the UNO’s in the cyclone-hit areas have virtually stopped functioning and are not cooperating with the government in its relief and rehabilitation efforts. Compelled by the situation, the government on an emergency basis has deputed one deputy
secretary tn each upazila of Chittagong and Cox’s Bazar districts to monitor and coordinate the relief work, which was supposed to be done the UNOs concerned.
According to the sources, about 29,000 BCS cadres, other than those of the BCS (Administration), have resented the discriminatory attitude in providing professional facilities, promotion and recruitment in the cadre services.
Akhter Hossain, general secretary of the BCS Coordination Committee, talking to the Daily Star said, conspiracy was being hatched in different tiers of the administration to foil the functioning of democracy in the country.
He said, due to bureaucratic conspiracy, Ayub Khan could seize power in erstwhile Pakistan and rule the country for 10 years. Similarly, he said, in 1982, due to conspiracy by a section of bureaucrats, Ershad could take over power by ousting an elected govern-menL
Again, he said, a politically motivated group of BCS cadres within the administration, particularly those of BCS (Administration), were working to Impede the activities of the democratic government with an ulterior motive.
Akhter Hossain said, the government -officers all over the world are bound to cooperate with the government and cannot challenge any decision of the government regarding its administrative policy.
But surprisingly, he said. Secretary General of the BCS (Admin) Association Dr Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir had threatened the government of action against its decision, which, he said, was against the service rules of the government employees.
Akhter Hussain said, during the nine years' rule of Ershad the BCS (Admin) cadres got maximum benefits including undue promotion. On the other hand, the cadres of other services hardly got any promotion and in the Information Services. promotion of more than 50 persons was held up by the administration. In most cases, the BCS (Admin) cadres secured their own promotions by using their position in the administrative services. During the last nine years, due the creation of upazila system, their number has been raised from 895 in 1981 to about 3300 in 1990. he said.
The BCS Coordination Committee leader said, the Government should do away with the office of UNO's who are not accountable to the people. He however suggested retaining the post of upazila
chairman, who is elected by the people.
Meanwhile. the BCS (Admin) Assoclatidn in a meeting on Thursday discussed the Government’s action against Mohiuddin Khan Alamglr.
The meeting, presided over by Mansurul Haque Khan, Vice-President of the BCS (Admin) Association, protested the action against Mohiuddin Khan Alamglr. who was restrained by the Government to go abroad and forced by the members of law enforcing agencies to return from the airport.
The meeting alleged that an Interested quarter in the government was trying to tarnish the image of the BCS (Admin) cadres. The association also resented the government action making Mohiuddin Khan Alamglr Officer on Special Duty (OSD).
Referring to Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir's role tn the democratic movement against the Ershad regime, the association observed that the action against him would foil the aims and objectives of the democratic Government.
The meeting said, no question should be raised about the Integrity of the BCS ( Admin) cadres and extended its allout cooperation with the democratic Government.
However. Insiders told The Daily Star that some members of the BCS (Admin) cadres opposed the stand of Mohiuddin Khan Alamglr and the meeting on Thursday, which continued till 11 pm could not take any unanimous decision.
Meanwhile. M A Hena. convener of the BCS Coordination Committee, pointed out that the government officers were transferred by the Establishment Division, but Mohiuddin Khan Alamglr wrote a letter to the Cabinet Division. He said, it was not understood how the Cabinet Division could solve the problems of the Establishment Division. He said, the very Intention of writing the letter to the Cabinet Division indicated that a section of the government officers was involved in a conspiracy.
